British Motoring Festival 2010

The first British Motoring Festival took place on Saturday, July 24th at the Kings-Edgehill School grounds in Windsor, Nova Scotia.

It was a great car show, with a wonderful setting, beautiful weather, well-organized events, and very good participation.

The array of British vehicles was wonderful … Jaguars, Triumphs, Austin-Healeys, MGs, were all well represented, with some Landrovers, Rolls-Royces, Sunbeams, Morris’, Daimlers, Vauxalls, Morgans, Austins and Fords adding to the mix.


The oldest, and might I add, rarest of the vehicles there was a 1937 HRG 1500. Beautifully restored, it is on of only 16 made of this model. It attracted lots of attention, and inquiries.

I met some great people there, and I managed to get a couple of sketches done too.
If I could have one addition to the event, it would be to have other British vehicles, such as trucks and motorcycles.

I’m looking forward to next year already!

    Hey, iz thata CORTINA? My first car was a 1969 Cortina GT which I bought for $2400 at a Ford dealer in Detroit.

    Still have a soft spot for British machines, oil leaks and "Prince of Darkness" electrics notwithstanding...

    Nice sketches, Paul.
